There was also a line coming out of Macon into Videlia on the former
SCL. This line was once the Macon, Dublin & Savannah, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the SAL since the early 1900s (ACL bought the MD&S
first and didn't want it!). The MD&S was integrated into the SAL in
1958 and I'd guess it was headquartered in Macon, although I guess
the "home office" might have been in Videlia. Anybody know?

The SCL line through Vidalia, Ga., originated as the AMERICUS, PRESTON
& LUMPKIN R.R., opened March 1, 1886. In January 1889 the AP&L was
reorganised as the SAVANNAH, AMERICUS & MONTGOMERY R.R., "The SAM
Route". The first trains ran to Montgomery, Ala., via Abbeville and
Richmond, Ga., in April 1892. The portion of the line from Lyons
to Savannah, Ga., was leased from the Central of Georgia in 1893 On
July 29, 1895, the SA&M, in receivership, was succeeded by the GEORGIA
& ALABAMA R.R., which was organised by persons affiliated with the
Seaboard System of R.R.s. The G&A came under control and was operated
by the SEABOARD AIR LINE R.R. from July 1900. The SAL was merged into
the SCL in July 1967.
